Latest Fantasy Rumors
Liverpool showing interest
Liverpool could plan a move for Vanderson in the summer of 2025, according to Caught Offside.
ANALYSIS
There's no question the Reds would be open to extending Trent Alexander-Arnold's contract at Anfield, but if they don't reach an agreement, they'd be forced to analyze other alternatives. Vanderson is very similar to Alexander-Arnold in the way he plays, but he might not be ready to replace him right away, as he might struggle with the physicality of the Premier League.
